I do have an iPhone but that doesn't make me an Android hater. Au contraire; I love my Xoom and am seriously considering an Android phone as replacement once I can upgrade (not sure if my company will play along). I think the whole Apple vs Android and the rest of the world is overrated. If I like something I'll buy it (if I can afford it), no matter if Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, or Sergey Brin pockets my money. :cheers:

Alright I have the device In hand....it has an sdcard slot. Also its the black case only at costco for free.

[Xoom General] blackout203:
Pics of said device!
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Wish they would let me, its the same slot as the 3g but sdcard card is on the top and the bottom is just dead space. It looks the same except the silver back. Box is actually wrapped in plastic unlike the 3g.

[Xoom General] patass:
it is that ugly bright silver then?
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
It looked dull, almost grey...but they won't let me take the plastic off the device...so I'm not sure how much is being blending into it. Also the plastic card in the sdcard slot said it wouldn't work until updated, but I think we already knew that.

k. I hear that the bright silver is the Europe, and the US gets this darker gun metal color, which i think is fine.

[Xoom General] tai4de2:
I got a wi-fi model yesterday and it does have an sdcard slot. The slot is actually populated by a little piece of clear plastic in the shape of an sdcard. Printed on the fake sdcard is a statement like "replace with an SD card only after future software update" (too lazy to go upstairs to check the exact wording).

Clearly they are intending to have sdcard support at some point (in case it wasn't clear already).
[Xoom General] huguito326:
it has both sim card slot and micro sd card slot !!!!
[Xoom General] Ianas:
Has anyone confirmed yet whether the wifi model has the pci express slot? I can't find that tidbit anywhere and it was asked earlier in this thread.
[Xoom General] gogol:
if yes, then what?
[Xoom General] dro1dfan:
i would be interested to know this too.

also i dont think there is a teardown yet, any volunteers?...
[Xoom General] Ianas:
If yes, then the next question is, how is it wired? If the usb lines to the slot are intact (and I would bet they are, most of the 3g cards I've seen only use the usb lines to talk to the machine, why would the LTE modem be different) then we have the possibility of having an internal, easily accessible (with a 3 dollar breakout board) usb port. So, more flash or embedding other supported usb devices in the Xoom.
[Xoom General] kalfou:
Wait a minute.... if it has a sim card slot does that.mean I can pit my phone sim in and use 3g???
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
No. it has an microsd card slot.

Sent From My Evo
[Xoom General] txcas:
It actually has both the microSD and the SIM lots. The cover for the microSD card slot is actually a SIM holder. Having a SIM slot does not mean it has a 3G radio in it.
[Xoom General] poisike:
But if the WIFI only version has a Mini PCI-E slot, then maybe we could add a 3G Mini PCI-E card...
[Xoom General] BereanPK:
OK, friends:

Having acquired my XOOM-Wifi just the other day (and liking it so far), I wanted to post some pics of the SD/SIM slot. Granted, they're taken with my HTC Pure, so don't expect flash! In the closeup pic, I shone a penlight into the slot so you can see a bit better (but given the angle I had to hold the phone at, it's a bit fuzzy - sorry).

This is a pic of the slot on top of the unit with the cover off... you can see the SD Card spacer they put in there and a larger space to its left...

A closeup of the SD Card spacer they put in there, clearly saying that owners should replace with a MicroSD "only after Android system update"...

Here's the fuzzy closeup (if it's fuzzy, how can it be a closeup? Geez!). You can make out the MicroSD slot on the RIGHT, and clearly a SIM slot on the LEFT.

-------------

Now, given the fact that the XOOM-Wifi actually has BOTH slots, one would think it's possible to throw a SIM in there and have something work... my personal take on that is the same as another poster above, if it doesn't have the cellular radio in there to begin with, putting a SIM in there isn't going to do anything anyway... but that argument is more for those who have the intelligence to do some serious hacking away (intelligence which I've personally left in the past along with my IT career).

But, also on personal opinion, trust Motorola to quickly toss a hot product out there to the marketplace without everything working. I know I'm a noob when it comes to Android OS, but my guess is that the issue is far more to do with the necessity of upgrading Honeycomb to work with external memory cards than the device itself.

But again, what'da I know? I'm JUST a nurse... :rolleyes:

[Xoom General] airbillion:
If the pci slot and sim card slot is there couldn't we add out own 3g card eventually? All we would need is drivers for the card we use.
[Xoom General] RaptorMD:
So when the hell does Moto plan on doing the 4G update, the said the microSD car slot update would be coming soon, which I guess does mean 3-5 months.
[Xoom General] BereanPK:
I wouldn't think so, my guess is that only the 3G/WiFi version of the Xoom actually has a 3G radio -- but I'd encourage anyone with a spare SIM, an unlimited data plan, and some gumption to find the drivers (or rip them from the Verizon version) to try! We all might be pleasantly surprised...

Figuring the typical turnaround time for Moto (if history is any indication and given they have to work with the evil witch VERIZON :-D with this), it probably will be 4-5 months... but that'll no doubt give them time to roll out the microSD card update, and probably by then we'll be seeing 32 GB microSD cards in Wal-Marts & office supply stores (no waiting for online deliveries!).

~ BereanPK
[Xoom General] klbjr:
So hold on a minute! This thing has a MicroSD slot but it doesn't work? What was the reason they gave us as to why in the year 2011 we can't get a working microSD slot?
[Xoom General] MvP77:
I have no idea what im talking about and im just thinking out loud so please ignore this if its just a wild off the wall guess.

Is it possible we could be offered by Moto to add the 4G radio (Paying for the upgrade of course) when available and thats why the sim slot is still there? Possibly get month to month service from verizon?
[Xoom General] MvP77:
Its supposed to work with a future update.
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
google will fix the sd card issues sooner or later.

isnt it something to do with the file format on the system anyway?

also a lot of laptops we see coming in to work have SIM slots in them for 3g stuff - but as the 3g card is left out (for saving money) then the SIM slots do nothing - but still there!

I guess it will be the same thing - it'd probably cost more to remove the SIM slot (redesign, different components?) than it would just to not put in the 3g cards.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jimboobrien:
I am new to posting in forums but I'm eager to learn. I have limited experience with ubuntu and linux in general. I am a college student but I have good knowledge of computers and know some language including HTML, Visual basic, SQL, C, etc...

I have a Archos 5 Android 7502 160GB version and I am looking for information on how I would be able to get help developing a ROM update for the Archos. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH. I've been looking this up since I got the device in December.

I know many drivers need to be adapted to the ROM for the archos to be able to run it. I wanted to know what Application I should use and if I can only do it using ADB bridge. (I know little about how the bridge works)

I have the Developer Edition Firmware from openAOS installed on the Archos. This installs a bootloader that can be edited with menu.lst on the device default folder. I also have 3 ROMs I can boot to: 1. Android 1.6 (Default OS) 2. Froyo 2.2 (In Development) 3. Angstrom Linux (comes with developer driver)

It is my understanding that the source code is available for the Archos Gen 7 Tablets on the Archos website. (Can't link due to being a new user)

Also gingerbread has its source code released. (Can't find link, yet...)

I was wondering what steps would be involved in adapting the drivers for the ROM for the Archos Gen 7 Tablet?

Also how much time would be needed to finish the project?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] luttenent22222:
Well I'm only going to tell u this it will be a hastle... and considering the archos 5 being one of the oldest tablets out there and the developers out there still not having froyo completley developed yet... I would guess that the project would be a VERY long project to work on. But I do incurage you to make a rom for the archos 5... Oh one question is it the archos 5 you have or the archos 5 internet tablet...:confused:

[Galaxy Tab General] raptir:
How does video out work on the Galaxy Tab? Basically, I'm torn between the Xoom and the Tab 10.1. I'm leaning towards the Tab due to the video format support.

I understand the 10.1 isn't out yet, but I'm assuming the video out will work similarly since the new Tab will still not have HDMI out.

What connector would I need to connect my Tab's output to my TV? Would there be a way of getting audio and video out to HDMI through an adapter? Or would I need to use the headphone jack as well?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
The 7" Tab has analog video out via cable, and digital video out via an HDMI port on the multimedia dock - I'd imagine the larger Tabs would be about the same.

I bought an HTC Media Link today, ostensibly for my Desire HD, but I checked that it does work with the Tab, so that is likely another option on the larger Tabs.

Regards,

Dave

this is the most complete one i found.

in this kernel you are not able to use the USB for normal functions such as ADB and sd card mounting to the PC. however a work around for copying files is SwiFTP app. it allows you to connect to your phone via wifi by mapping your device as a network drive!

Sorry for the very noob question but i can't make everything work.

[XPERIA X8 General] kecil26:
firstly,have u rooted and already had xrecovery installed? :D
[XPERIA X8 General] Siso93:
I've 2.0.1 so i think I've to upgrade to 2.1.1 but on 2.0.1 I've app2sd, jit, xrecovery and obviously root so once upgraded I would root and install xrecovery without problems, the problem is what have i got to do after?
[XPERIA X8 General] kecil26:
yes you have to upgrade first as in the thread mentioned the rom will only work with 2.1.1 and baseband 15..after upgrade install rooted and xrecovery installed,download the rom (which is update.zip file) dont extrated it..just placed the update.zip file inside your sd card..dont placed it inside any folder,just placed it in ur sd..then reboot..and press back button several time until xrecovery appear..i suggest u to make backup first ,choose backup at xrecovery option for later used (if something goes wrong you can always restore back)..and would be better have backup all things in ur sd (for later used also :D)then go back to the main screen of the xrecovery..choose install update.zip..then if everything goes fine it will reboot and u have to go to xrecovery back by pressing back button several time and choose factory reset as mentioned in the minicm thread then reboot again..here you go..good luck, remember to always backup ur data before messing around :D
[XPERIA X8 General] Case87:
If You already have 2.1.1 and have it rooted and got xRecovery installed than :

1.Download MiniCM Rom

2.Put the update.zip in the SD card (just drag it onto SD card)

3.Turn off phone and wait 5 seconds

4.Turn on phone and when Sony Ericsson sign appears start tapping "Back(arrow)" button until xRecovery shows (You should make a backup before you install that in every case to be able to resume the state before the installation --> In xRecovery Backup/Restore section)

5.Now install the ROM . In xRecovery go to "Install update.zip from SD card" than "Yes - Install /sdcard/update.zip" and the ROM will start installing

6.Select "Factory Reset" in xRecovery

7.Select "Reboot Phone" in xRecovery (first boot takes about 1~5min)

8.Enjoy new ROM :)

I think I`m explained quite clearly :p
[XPERIA X8 General] kecil26:
+1 Case..its clearly explained :D good luck Siso.
[XPERIA X8 General] Siso93:
THANKS :D i'll do it tomorrow but, if I upgrade now via pccompanion will I have automatically the .15 build? or Have I got to install some other patches?
[XPERIA X8 General] kecil26:
yes..pc companion will upgrade both build rom and baseband if not mistaken :D you will get build no 2.1.1.A.0.6 with baseband .15..

Well I flash alot of roms and used just about all of them including Cm7 and when I used it and it was great but to many bugs it turned my phone into an ipod I could not make calls send text and browser would shut down so much and I am wondering if they have improved it to be an everyday rom?
[Vibrant General] }{Alienz}{:
The only thing that doesn't work with CM7 now is GPS.

The camera is also a bit slow but it works. Aside from that only OTHER bugs would be a bit low 3D performance (though you won't notice it anywhere but on a benchmark), lack of support for all codecs for videos (not all formats playback is supported yet), and a batter life of about 14 hours as compared to about 17-18 normal.

Many people want the tool to control their ext partitions. I heard some people are using 'GPARTED'.

Though I myself have never used it but we would like to have feedback from people who have used it.

I googled and found the following link and info:

gparted.sourceforge.net/

Gnome Partition Editor

GParted is a free partition editor for

graphically managing your disk partitions.

GParted is useful for tasks such as: creating

space for new operating systems,

restructuring disk space to separate user

and operating system data, and copying

partitions to enable upgrading to a larger

hard disk drive.

Your hard disk drive or USB flash drive can

be subdivided into one or more partitions.

GParted enables you to reorganize your

disk partitions while preserving the

contents of these partitions.

Features

Create partition tables (e.g., msdos, gpt)

Perform actions with partitions such as:

create or delete

resize or move

check

label

copy and paste

Manipulate file systems such as:

btrfs

ext2 / ext3 / ext4

fat16 / fat32

hfs / hfs+

linux-swap

ntfs

reiserfs / reiser4

ufs

xfs

For specific actions supported see detailed

features.

Enable and disable partition flags (e.g.,

boot, hidden)

Align partitions to mebibyte (MiB) or

cylinder boundaries

Attempt data rescue from lost partitions

Supports hardware RAID, motherboard

BIOS RAID, and Linux software RAID.

Supports all sector sizes (e.g., 512, 1024,

2048, 4096 byte sectors)

Requirements

GParted is developed on x86 based

computers using GNU/Linux. It can be

used on other operating systems, such as

Windows or Mac OS X, by booting from

media containing GParted Live.

Mission Statement

The goal of GParted is to provide an easy

way to graphically manage disk device

partitions, without unintended loss of data,

through the use of GNU libparted and

other free software file system tools.
